Twenty-three-year-old Marina Elliot thought she was finally safe in Murcié-lago, Florida. But a string of frightening events confirms a childhood stalker has returned. Her first thought is to call her brother’s friend, Detective Nick Castillo. Her second? To hope he doesn’t think she has a crush on him, even though she absolutely does.

 

Nick Castillo doesn’t do attachments. The loss of his parents and burnout have made him a loner ready to quit his job…until Marina reaches out. Disarmed by her more than he’s willing to admit, Nick vows to protect her, even if he must keep her at arm’s length.

 

While investigating the case, Nick and his Hungarian partner, who might not be entirely human, uncover coconspirators led by a cloaked killer always one step ahead. With nowhere left to hide, Nick and Marina have no choice but to run. Now, they must outsmart a predator before he shatters their future and the undeniable magic growing between them.
